    Quote: Okay this is how I understood baptism as well. Thanks for putting it in the words I couldn't find And I agree, too. I'm not of a particular persuasion but I think I have sort of an understanding of religion and the politics that go with it. I believe baptism is something between the...

    Quote: Romans 13 1-4 Yes, those verses say we should be subject unto the powers that be ordained under God...but who is he (preacher) to decide what is and what isnt "evil" ? And if that preacher is adding to the word to suit his own ideals then he is guilty of sin also. and Hebrews 13 7 "who...

    Quote: I know in one of the churches I attended as a teenager which was Babtist, not sure exactly what kind of Babtist, but the members were asked to stay after the service to vote on certain things.. It was done by more or less the topic being voted on was presented to the church by the...

    Quote: This has happened around my parts. Very slowly, but it happened. One Pentecostal church didn't want to change with the times (no judgement there - I love that church) so followers went to a more modernized Pentecostal church across town. Church members are dwindling down to nothing...

    Hmmm yea I never really thought about the fine print that's already in place. There can be a little loophole that might help to solve a majority of your dilemna. But how important is it to the church that the couple may already have committed to each other in front of the other and God? There...

    Quote: You're right. It has been very civil, surprisingly I understad we aren't exactly giving the OP the answers she is seeking but hopefully she can use our feelings when deciding what should be done in her situation. IMO, you don't have to be a member to have the right to pray, worship...

    Quote: Keep in mind, he is not turning them away, he is baptising them and welcoming them to worship & learning here . . . . just not be on the membership roll. If your Baptist church runs like ChickiKat (I think she said Southern Baptist) then it is a slap in the face to those people to not...

    Never think you are not worthy! Don't ever think that. You know fully well that He will accept all who accept him. We all have our weak moments and He understands that and you should too. The fact that you are still alive and well and believeing in Him is worthy enough as far as I'm concerned...

    I try to respect everyones' faith and beliefs because I, myself, still find moments when I don't know what or who to believe in. But the Catholic and Scientology religions always leave me scratching my head. I find it hard to understand why one man/woman has the right to dictate how others'...

    I'm of no church at this time but was raised Baptist with a little hint of Pentecostal (sp?) and I can honestly say that just sounds a bit ridiculous to me. Unfortunately, I think his faith has a lot to do with how he wants things run. I'm not a genius when it comes to Bible passages but I like...
